"AND YOU STILL HAVE THE NERVE TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH..."

Too sharp not to share.

This Australian's response to Trump's rant that "NATO doesn't exist for America" is perfect:

"Mate,

You run a country where 600,000 homeless people will sleep on the streets tonight.

A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money.

A country where insulin costs more than a car payment, and people ration it just to stay alive.

A country where medical debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy.

A country where women die in hospital parking lots because doctors are too afraid of abortion laws to treat miscarriages.

You imprison more of your own citizens than any other country on Earth.

More than China.

More than Russia.

More than North Korea.

In the land of the free, 2 million people are held in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything.

They're just too poor to make bail.

Your life expectancy is falling. You're the only developed country where that's happening.

Your infant mortality rate is higher than Cuba's.

Your children practice active-shooter drills between math and English classes while you sell gun stocks to your friends.

Your minimum wage hasn't changed in 15 years...

You have teachers working two jobs, veterans sleeping under bridges, and you've just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that never attacked you.

And a convicted criminal, found liable in a rape case, defending a pedophile, sleeping with a porn star, and leading the biggest dumpster-fire campaign since the Taliban, thanks you for yet another failure.

And you're calling Greenland poorly governed?

Greenland has universal healthcare.

Free education.

One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world.

Nobody goes bankrupt because they got sick.

Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance company said no.

'NATO wasn't there when we needed them.'

When exactly was that, champ?

September 11?

Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in its history for you.

Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan for you.

Australia wasn't even in NATO, and we still showed up.

For twenty years.

And then you left at two in the morning without telling anyone and left them to clean up the mess.

You don't care that a great nation is being terrorized by your friend. You haven't shown it a shred of sympathy.

So maybe, before you start calling other countries poorly governed, take a look at your own backyard, you aluminum-siding salesman with a spray tan.

The only thing being poorly managed in this picture is your damn mouth.

And you still have the nerve to lecture everyone else?"

The "free-range" label on the egg carton at your grocery store has no requirement that the chickens ever go outside.

The Animal Welfare Institute has found that the USDA does not actually inspect facilities to verify outdoor access claims.

What this winds up looking line in practice is a barn with 20,000 to 30,000 birds and a single small door leading to a fenced concrete or gravel patch.

Most of the chickens never see the door, and the ones that find it step into a space that may be a few square feet per bird, often with no grass and no shade.

The label that actually means something is "Certified Humane Pasture-Raised" or "Animal Welfare Approved."

Certified Humane requires 108 square feet of outdoor pasture per hen, with at least 6 hours of outdoor access daily.

Animal Welfare Approved requires continuous access to living vegetation. The eggs from those programs cost more, but they're the only ones where the bird on the box is actually living something like a chicken's life.

"Free-range" and "cage-free" are marketing terms and not much more.

Ref tells Saka to hurry up and take the corner with stoppage time up. Saka does his usual slow-walk to run down the clock. The ref calmly waits, and the absolute second Saka gets into position? He blows for half-time.

Absolute cinema. Masterclass game management for a final.

Arsenal got so used to getting away with murder from Premier League refs that when someone actually enforces the rules, they think they’re being robbed.

Credit where it’s due tho, they played some demonic football to get here. But if PL refs weren't so intimidated by Arteta’s touchline tantrums and fooled by their theatrics, Arsenal wouldn’t be parading a PGMOL trophy today.

Justice served in Europe! 🫶🏼

[DaddyNeedsCoffee 🇺🇦 🚴‍♂️ 🎨 🇪🇺 @DaddyCoffee73]

The press are quite rightly discussing a man who used money that wasn’t his to buy a PlayStation, biscuits, a telescope and a campervan.
But absolutely fuckall about the criminal @Nigel_Farage who accepted a £5m bribe - laundered by buying houses - to subvert our democracy. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[RAZOR BLADE @razorblade300]

💔Pep Guardiola:

“People think football gives you everything. The trophies, the nights under the lights, the songs from the fans… and yes, it gives you beautiful moments. But football also takes. It takes time. It takes peace. It takes pieces of you that you don’t even realise are disappearing.

For many years, I was obsessed. Completely obsessed. I woke up thinking about football, I slept thinking about football. Even when I was sitting with my family, mentally I was somewhere else — thinking about tactics, training, pressure, the next match, the next title. I gave everything to this game. Maybe too much.

There was a moment in my life when my wife looked at me and said, ‘You have to choose. Football or us.’ And the truth is… I chose football.

At that time, I believed I was doing the right thing. I told myself this was my passion, my responsibility, my identity. But passion can become addiction when you forget the people who love you outside of your work.

You win trophies, and everyone celebrates you for one night. Then the next morning, they ask what comes next. Another game. Another title. Another sacrifice. Football never says ‘enough.’ It always asks for more.

And one day, I looked around and realised the people I loved were growing older while I was standing on the touchline shouting about a misplaced pass. My children were becoming adults. Time was moving. Life was moving. And I was missing it.

That hurts more than losing any final.

Now I understand something I didn’t understand when I was younger: there is life beyond football. Real life. Quiet mornings with your family. Conversations without pressure. Laughing at dinner without thinking about the weekend’s lineup. Being present. Truly present.

Football gave me everything professionally, but family gives me something football never could — peace.

So yes, maybe it is time to stop for a while. To rest. To breathe. To wake up without pressure in my chest. To be a husband. To be a father. Not a manager. Not a genius coach. Just a man with the people he loves.

Because in the end, when the stadium lights go dark and the crowds go home, you understand something very simple:

Love matters more than football.

And for the first time in many years… I am ready to choose that.”

[KippaxKids @KippaxKids]

What a great ending to the season, Foden suddenly has an arse the size of Raheem Sterling and the assist record is broken by a fucking own goal.
The PGMOL season of shame ends like it started, a fuck up.
An organisation at the apex of a multi billion pound industry has no leadership and is in over £3 million of debt despite having a monopoly.
VAR isn't the problem, the indulgence of the EPL in this clearly unfit for purpose private company is.

[Trevor McArdle @McardleTrevor]

Inflation “unexpectedly” fell by 0.5% to 2.8%

Growth was an “unexpected” 0.7% - the highest in the G7

Net immigration “unexpectedly” fell by 82%

NHS “unexpectedly” met it’s interim 18 week target

Our media have so deceived the public that all positive news is now “unexpected”

[Labour Heartlands @Labourheartland]

THE WATER RIP-OFF IS NOT ADDING UP.

Barry Gardiner MP has exposed the great trick at the heart of Labour’s position on water.

Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds says bringing water back into public ownership would cost an “enormous amount of money”. But when challenged, her department’s own response admitted it has not assessed the cost of continuing with privatisation against the cost of public ownership.

Read that again.

The Government insists public ownership is too expensive, while refusing to do the maths needed to prove it.

Water is a natural monopoly. People cannot shop around for a better pipe to their home. Yet billpayers are trapped in a system where their money must cover not only clean water, functioning infrastructure and sewage treatment, but the financial interests of private owners, creditors and shareholders.

Public ownership is not some wild luxury. It is common sense. Remove the need to extract profit from an essential service and put billpayers’ money back into pipes, reservoirs, sewage works and lower bills.

The question is no longer whether the privatised water model has failed. We can see and smell that failure in our rivers and on our beaches.

The question is why a Labour Government is defending it without even calculating the public alternative.

Come clean, Secretary of State. Publish the full comparison. Let the public see who this broken system is really serving.

Dear @ManCity,

while Micah Richards, a supposed Manchester City ambassador, is busy cheering and licking Arsenal's title, Joe Hart showed up. Present. Supporting the boys in their final game of the season, sending off Pep, Bernie, and Stonesy the right way.

That's my ambassador. Make him one. 🩵

[OptaJoe @OptaJoe]

1 - Arsenal have become the first side in @premierleague history to neither concede a penalty or receive a red card in a single campaign. Focused.

[Viana. @Hugo____Viana]

The worst mistake by Manchester City management ever is assigning Micah Richards as the club's ambassador.

He is at Selhurst Park to witness Arsenal lifting the trophy. Give Joe Hart his flowers as future ambassador.

[PrestwichBlue @PrestwichBlue]

BREAKING NEWS: Howard Webb has announced he's leaving Arsenal this summer to return to his original club, Manchester United. He said "I've taken Arsenal as far as I can and the offer to go back to Old Trafford, where they need my expertise, was too good to turn down".

UK news: HS2 could cost up to £102.7bn and may not open until 2039 (BBC)

This is Chongqing railway station rebuild in China. It cost £16.5bn and took only around 3 1/2 years to complete.

Their high speed rail (350km/hr) cost just £5.9bn and took 6 years

[Chris (#Scandal still NO Justice PO GF WR) @Chrisviews43]

Listen to the journalist saying we cannot find him to scrutinise him, but you had Reform on BBC and Sky News nearly every day up until the May election and you never scrutinised them once. Now Reform are hiding because they know they cannot really get out of the scrutiny waiting for them, and the MSM are acting like it is not their fault because they cannot track them down. This is the same party that was holding a conference nearly every month, so do not tell us you suddenly cannot find them. If you had scrutinised the leader properly about his lame excuses for not holding surgeries on Fridays, maybe you would know where to find him, because most MPs can be found at their surgeries on Fridays. Journalists are taking us for jokes because last I checked Beth Rigby was at every stunt they held and there was no real scrutiny, now very convenient you cannot find them to ask questions. It feels like part of the ploy to let it die down so you can go back to being the Reform channel again. Has anyone noticed how Reform, Zia, Tice and whoever else they could get were on TV every single day and on every Question Time, but now no conference, no real appearances, not a whiff of them, just some lame Jenrick trying his best to keep their momentum going. So this is what to expect from the new PM in waiting, as the mainstream media has been telling us for the last year, when it comes to scrutiny he will be nowhere to be found. This is BS. You heard the public and viewers asking why are they on TV so much with no proper scrutiny and no challenge, yet you carried on.

Repost if you think the BBC openly promotes and protects Farage and Reform UK!
